FMP URL protocol

The fmp7://, fmp7script://, and fmp:// URL protocols offer FileMaker developers awesome possibilities. They can be used to control FileMaker solutions from outside or from inside. Examples include: from a web page, another application, or a FileMaker Web Viewer.

Update: As of FileMaker 16, you need to enable the "fmurlscript" Extended Privilege for the appropriate Privilege Sets.
